Takamura Assistant Secretary for Aging U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Before the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs February 25, 1998 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee: On behalf of the Administration on Aging (AoA), I appreciate this opportunity to provide some information about our program for American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian elders. Under title VI of the Older Americans Act (OAA), AoA annually awards grants to provide supportive and nutrition services for American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian elders living in the title VI service areas. In 1997, grants were awarded to 220 American Indian and Alaska Native tribal organizations representing nearly 300 tribes, and one major organization serving Native Hawaiian elders. Grants for the current year will be awarded on April 1, 1998. The President's FY 1999 budget request for title VI of the Older Americans Act is approximately $18.5 million. Nutrition services are a major component of the title VI program. In 1995 (the most recent year for which data are available), nearly three million congregate and home-delivered meals were provided to elders participating in title VI programs. In addition to meals, other nutrition services provided included nutrition education, nutrition screening and nutrition counseling.

SERVICES AND PROGRAMS TO HELP ALASKAN CHILDREN BE AS HEALTHY AS POSSIBLE If your child has special health care needs, then chances are you will become very familiar with the health care system in Alaska as well as providers that can assist you in caring for your child. We have a wide menu of health resources that exist in our state and it continues to grow. Your child's health care provider might be a Pediatrician, Family Practitioner, Public Health Nurse, or Community Health Aide. Some children with special health care needs benefit from programs and professionals who help with nutrition and dietary needs. In the Medical Home model of health care, the parent also remains responsible for sharing information and for seeing to it that the primary health provider is informed on all aspects of their child's care. Quick Jump to: Medical Home Public Health WIC LIFE Prgram ... Home Health THE MEDICAL HOME The Medical Home is where a child and his or her family can count on receiving the medical care they need from a health care professional they trust. It is not a building, house or hospital but rather an approach to providing quality and coordinated services. Primary health care providers and parents work as partners to identify and access all of the medical and non-medical services needed to help children with special health care needs achieve their potential. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau agree that Medical Homes consist of the following:

You are here main articles On the Safe Side Alaska Fish Tested For Mercury, Get Clean Bill of Health State of Alaska, Office of the Governor ANCHORAGE - Governor Frank H. Murkowski today announced results from a study conducted by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) seafood and food safety laboratory document that shows mercury levels are very low in the most frequently consumed fish from Alaska. Mercury levels in Alaska salmon are among the lowest found Murkowski said the study is important because of the national focus on mercury levels in fish. Recent national fish advisories recommending limiting consumption of fish did not take into account evidence of the low levels of mercury in Alaska fish, especially salmon. "These results reinforce what we've known all along-that Alaska's fish are safe to eat," Murkowski said. During the first two years of the study more than 500 samples of marine and fresh water fish taken from Alaska waters were tested for heavy metals, including mercury. Mercury, a naturally occurring heavy metal, accumulates in fish and marine mammals. It is also released into the air through coal burning and industrial pollution. Analysis of the Alaska samples revealed low levels of all heavy metal contaminants tested. The data were consistent with the results of other studies and previous sampling and analysis performed by ADEC.

Behaviors to promote health should start early in life with breastfeeding and continue through life with the development of healthful eating habits. Nutritional, or dietary, factors contribute substantially to the burden of preventable illnesses and premature deaths in the United States. Indeed, dietary factors are associated with 4 of the 10 leading causes of death: coronary heart disease (CHD), some types of cancer, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

Liz Applegate, nutrition editor of Runners' World magazine, has written a column in the November issue calling canned salmon a must in the pantry of any serious athlete, or anyone, for that matter. "Salmon is what I consider an overlooked food," the University of California Davis professor told KCAW radio. "People think of it when dining out, saying, 'I think I'll treat myself to salmon,' when we should be eating it on a weekly basis." Besides recent studies that have shown the health benefits of a diet high in salmon, Applegate puts salmon at the top her list of critical foods for endurance athletes.
